Not extremely. Helpful stuff to know, but there is, right now, no real reason for anyone to launch an attack of this scale. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_assured_destruction

To be honest, nuclear threats can pretty much be waved away with mutually assured destruction. I think we're all just saying, "Surely they won't do it..." because we know that if they do, there will be nothing left to wo

Nothing about avoiding population centers? My reaction to nuclear attack would be to hightail it into the woods. Take some supplies, wait it out, and try not to be a burden to emergency services. As for fallout and the like, I would just ha

I think there's a bit in the boot boot order hex value that you can use to tell it to keep trying indefinitely, but don't quote me on that.

Erm, no. I would love to be able to stop using "webkit-" or whatever in my CSS because everyone quit using Safari.

I have some very fascinating photos and documentation of WWII war correspondents, if people are interested I might put them in a repo or something.

Looking back into the previous era, in times like the Second World War, (mostly) all coverage of the fighting was done by war correspondents - civilian reporters who went into combat with the regular soldiers. They are responsible for the f

I did not say 18 - just "underage". And, to answer your question... ...lots of people.

I use 1password, and I have always had a mild distaste for its 'vaults' UX. I live with it though, and since I'm only creating logins every once in a while I just leave it be, and shake my head every time do use it. On the wh

I have poked and prodded at making my own turn-based game, and one thing I have learned is validation. Don't trust input, and you will make robust serverside code. Assume every bit sent by the client was maliciously sent in order to br
